By front-loading this ridiculousness through simple, random connections — a screenshot of Google search results for himself blown up on a wall, or his father's piano for sale in a gallery — he is investigating the very nature of meaning and pushing the limits of what we will understand and accept.

Karl Hennessee, senior vice president and head of litigation at Airbus, told BBC Today that Airbus wanted to move beyond the "ridiculousness" of the WTO legal marathon and forge a peace settlement with the U.S. similar to one between Canada and Brazil that set the tone for global aircraft export financing.

" Stewart continued, smiling at the apparent ridiculousness of the question, "I'm honestly not that connected to that world, so I don't know what you're talking about... All I can tell you is I've worked with Louis for 30 years, and he's a wonderful man and person, and I've never heard anything about this.

So when I read about a cover of "Look What You Made Me Do" by metal band One More Slice in Strife Magazine, I knew had to listen; if not for the sheer ridiculousness of it, then for the small hope that maybe this version would get stuck in my head instead.

I think people have just latched on to the sheer ridiculousness of it and want to associate with it, because it's just funny, and there's so much awful shit going on sometimes you just need to believe in something light and fun (I've changed my twitter name/picture to Gritty related items).

Nevertheless, it inspired a strong reaction from people who critiqued her spending habits, raged against her evidently undeserved wealth, and mocked the ridiculousness of the original headline—she wasn't living in New York on $25 an hour, she was living on a cushion of inherited wealth: This kind of anger is certainly righteous.

Of course, this is a charitable interpretation of the Heroes Reborn finale, one that completely ignores the ridiculousness of Noah Bennet using his body energy to help shield the planet from total incineration, yet still being able to survive 30 extra seconds to tell his grandchildren how much they've made their grandpa proud.

But hey, at least we get to imagine the amusing moment when a "white nationalist" member learns, the hard way, that they themselves have always been a target of their own hatred and fear… Not so long ago, I could write about how charming and anarchically appealing the tech industry's ridiculousness was.

EST, you get to experience that feeling over and over again, as Jasper Dolphin and Errol Chatham—who grew up with Tyler, the Creator, and have been involved with Odd Future since its inception—conquer dozens of bizarre activities of varying degrees of ridiculousness, none of which they have ever before attempted.

By examining Hitler's cult of personality (arguably in its most outlandish form) and the way his anti-Semitic rhetoric was normalized (here's a 10-year-old kid openly talking about how he'd kill a Jew if he saw one), Jojo Rabbit demonstrates both the ridiculousness and the danger of Jojo's fascist zeal.

This wasn't the most loathsome thing Pierson said in her CNN hit (that would be her insistence that Trump's accusers only want "15 minutes of fame") but despite its ridiculousness, it is instructive of how the campaign will likely approach these allegations: by highly scrutinizing individual details to cast the accusers as liars.

The centerpiece of this luxury-porn buffet is a wedding so ostentatiously over-the-top that Baz Luhrmann would probably describe it as "a bit much" – and yet instead of laughing out loud at the sheer ridiculousness of it all, I found myself tearing up over an intense look shared between Nick and Rachel.

"Everyone was already aggravated about flight delays and the ridiculousness of standing in such a long line for hours, which Spirit Airlines did nothing to help, and then in walks these people off their flight raising a ruckus (and) cussing and screaming and they went straight to the counter," passenger Cindy Matthews Beard told CNN.

But its special moves relied a lot on charging, pushing away from your opponent before hitting forward at the same time as any number of face buttons—one necessitated the pressing of A, Y, and C simultaneously, shifting from thumb control to fingers, exactly the kind of ridiculousness that modern QA processes would revise.

Before Peck's film ends, Richard Widmark will scream, "Nigger, nigger, nigger" in a clip from No Way Out (1950), a radical movie for its time, also starring Sidney Poitier, whom Baldwin does not blame for the ridiculousness of the films The Defiant Ones (1958), Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (19673), or In the Heat of the Night (1967).

That's how he gets onstage at a Democratic debate, points out the ridiculousness of the artifice — "We're up here with makeup on our faces and our rehearsed attack lines, playing roles in this reality TV show" — and walks away with one of the most talked-about moments of the night despite having had the least talking time.

But the twist in the episode's final moments — in which Shelby first discovers a ring of scary, Blair Witch-y forest totems, then witnesses Bentley's band of woodland cultists doing some friendly neighborhood scalping (yes, scalping) — suggests that AHS season six will at the very least deliver on the over-the-top ridiculousness and boundary-pushing habits the show has become known for.

J. Scott Applewhite/AP A whole lot of ridiculousness went down online this past week, but pretty much all of it disappeared as soon as news broke Friday that the UK had voted to leave the European Union, plunging the pound into a deep dive, pushing international relations into confusion, and triggering the resignation of British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Aside from the inherent ridiculousness of the premise (which rests on the idea that dancers who are phenomenally talented in one style will be utterly lost in others, a theory So You Think You Can Dance has repeatedly disproved), On Pointe hits many of the same beats as the first film, a strategy the Step Up franchise has used to box office success.

Like a video gamer uninterested in winning and in no hurry to advance to higher levels, he knocks around the corners and side streets of his invented reality, treating it the way he treated Hawaii in "The Descendants," wine country in "Sideways" and his beloved Nebraska in most of his other movies — as a picturesque, lived-in backdrop for the spectacle of human ridiculousness.

The Darkness reached the top of the British charts in 2003 with a version of metal, one they always denied was a spoof but which trod the line between sincere and parody so finely that an awful lot of people who would never buy a real metal album lapped it up and revelled in its ridiculousness (they imploded in 2006 amid drugs and bickering, like a real metal band).

A few days before, we had been offered proof that the magic of the F.A. Cup is alive and well, too: Shrewsbury Town, of League One — quick reminder: League One is what England calls its third tier, a level of ridiculousness that is for some reason accepted — had come from two goals down to hold Liverpool, runaway leader of the Premier League, champion of Europe and the world, to a draw.

While the show masterfully ribs its own version of tech industry, a new cut from Funny or Die mashed scenes from Silicon Valley with Apple's iPhone keynote to reveal the ridiculousness that is the IRL iPhone X. Sure, the iPhone X is an impressive phone (it better be with that price tag), but the way Apple fans praise anything the company does is something we should all call out and laugh at.

At any rate, it was hard to narrow down the list from the more than 2,000 short films I've seen this year—some of which I've written about for this site—but I was able to do so by placing them into categories and setting a few ground rules, which go as follows: So, without giving too much thought to the inherent ridiculousness of year-end "best of" awards, here I go: Winner: The Procedure.

Mascots, for the most part, is just a gentle rehashing of Guest's best works: the exploration of a strange pocket in the world, the immense earnestness that often leads to sadness, the competitive nature (and the ridiculousness of watching people compete for something that means nothing), the usual cast (Jane Lynch, Parker Posey, Fred Willard, Ed Begley Jr., Christopher Guest reprising his role as Corky St. Clair, etc.), and the semi-improvisational nature.

Tom Cruise is a spectacularly entertaining actor with a graceful fighting stance and a winning smile, and the other action franchise he leads, Mission: Impossible, is exactly what an action movie ought to be: full of insane, cathartic stunts (recall the last film, Rogue Nation, where he hung from an airplane as it took off and also pencil-dived into a vortex), structured around a silly plot, with a subtle self-awareness of its own over-the-top ridiculousness.

And while the scam has also produced lots of funny commentary due to the sheer ridiculousness of the lengths these parents went to get their kids into college (like photoshopping their kids' faces onto stock photos of athletes) and the level of privilege these people have (Loughlin's daughter Olivia Jade was literally on the yacht of a billionaire when the news broke), what's not funny is how lower-income people fare when they try to get a better education for their children.

The century, unfortunately, has seen no greater music moment than the Queen of Pop being nigh-on strangled by an enormous shawl made of what looks like curtain material from a two-star hotel in Blackpool, before scrambling to her feet to give her public the show they deserve, inexplicably surrounded by horned dancers (and like, you don't really notice the ridiculousness of the horns before she falls over, but as soon as that happens the illusion of disbelief snaps and it becomes hysterical).
